Chuck Peña PEZ sez: I had the chance to attend the delicate opening of the Hammer Down Trip Middle in Falls Church, VA (positioned contained in the Vida Ciclista bicycle store) in the course of the summer season, in addition to tag alongside on a experience that Michael Reject organized for some native riders to check out the fleet of TIME bicycles.

As increased finish bicycles get increasingly more costly, potential consumers are going to need greater than to simply “kick the tires.” And a spin across the block is hardly sufficient to present them a way of how a bicycle will experience/deal with/really feel. Plus a potential purchaser might be extra intently match to precise arrange on a rental bike fairly than having to experience a motorbike as-is to OEM spec. So the chance to experience a motorbike for a day (or a number of days) makes a whole lot of sense. Particularly if the price of the rental might be utilized in the direction of the acquisition.
A experience within the metropolis however not on metropolis bikes
A experience middle can be an excellent idea for out of city guests who wish to experience greater than only a metropolis bike however for whom bringing their very own bike with them isn’t sensible. NOTE: Hammer Down additionally gives (at extra price) rider led excursions within the Capital Area to incorporate the monuments, in addition to some nice gravel driving (consider it or not, among the greatest gravel driving within the nation is in VA simply exterior of DC).
Time (no pun supposed) will inform if experience facilities catch on in the US. However Michael Regent and TIME are optimistic and plan to open extra experience facilities all through the nation.

I subsequently was in a position to undergo the Hammer Down Trip Middle web site reservation course of to lease a TIME Alpe d’Huez simply to see how all the things works. Fairly intuitive/easy and simple peasy. A number of issues to bear in mind renting a motorbike:
- I used to be in a position to specify an extended stem and that I needed it slammed (don’t wait till the day you decide up your bike to do that)
- You’ll nonetheless want to regulate saddle fore/aft and peak (and also you’ll must resolve if you wish to experience your personal saddle)
- You possibly can provide your personal pedals or select from SPD-SL or SPD pedals
Positively not your typical rental bike
